I can only suggest if you have access to a scale weigh it (in grains) the weight in grains would give an idea of the caliber.. best idea is to use a micrometer and get a measurement around the driving bands...from the pix that is most likely the least deformed part...the OD (outside diameter) is your best bet to narrow the possibilities... IMHO
